Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Globally enables MVR. The default is disabled.
If MVR is enabled globally, then this command is not
Note
required.
Specifies the Layer 2 port to configure, and enters interface configuration mode.
Configures an MVR port as one of these types of ports:
• source—An uplink port that sends and receives multicast data is configured as
an MVR source. The port automatically becomes a static receiver of MVR
multicast groups. A source port should be a member of the MVR VLAN.
• receiver— An access port that is connected to a host that wants to subscribe to
an MVR multicast group is configured as an MVR receiver. A receiver port
receives data only when it becomes a member of the multicast group by using
IGMP leave and join messages.
If you attempt to configure a non-MVR port with MVR characteristics, the
configuration is cached and does not take effect until the port becomes an MVR port.
The default port mode is non-MVR.
